Pool...Burr!

Kids were begging for us to set up our pool! So, after some coaxing from a friend "Come on Carrie, it will be FUN...do not think of the work, the up-keep, JUST DO IT" we began to set it up!
Here is the pool all ready to go...one thing missing WATER!

When you live in the country and you have a well....it is not easy to fill a 6,000 gallon pool. So you have to call in the WONDERFUL farmer/friend next door to get him to run a connection from the HUGE pipes and hose that he uses to water the corn behind our house towards our pool to fill it up.
Believe me I speak from experience....a few years ago...we started to fill our pool and realized that after 5 hours we only had knee deep water and our PUMP was running and running...that we needed a new plan. Ron "Farmer/Friend/Neighbor" saved the day.
Any guesses on how long it took to fill our pool the "country way"
20 minutes! Not even kidding!

A BIG thank you to you RON! The kids are now swimming everyday...65 degrees outside or hotter, thanks to your generous help! I can say that Victoria came out side after a rest to see the empty pool laying on the ground and gave us a good 10 mins of jumping, hopping, dancing, running excitement as she joyfully expressed her delight in the fact that the pool was there! I LOVE HER LOVE FOR LIFE and her THANKFUL heart!
She swims until she is shaking from the COLD....but she swims everyday!
